Football and bigotry seem to go hand in hand among some West German youth gangs. Fans for Dortmund's Borussia soccer team regularly sing Nazi songs and chant Heil, Hitler! in the stands and terrorize immigrants after matches.

Turkish shops were given special protection after neo-Nazi...
Half the women were draped in body-length black cloth, the other half in white. Some of them carried hand-made crosses, others beat drums and pounded 10-ft.-tall bamboo poles in time with their slow march.

Police investigating the reports surprised two men and a woman blazing away with pistols at a newspaper pinned to a tree. The trio turned their weapons on the police, killing one officer and wounding another in the thigh.

...vary their daily schedules (making it difficult for terrorists to set traps for them) and are accompanied everywhere by bodyguards. (That did not help Schleyer. His three bodyguards were killed when he was captured.) Even those who are not likely to be targets of terror are affected. Observed a Dortmund barber: "They're going to hit again?somewhere. It's so terrible not to know where and when...
